The Self-Destruction of the 1 Percent

I'm always dismayed to read comments in HN when an article like this comes up because their is always such a complete backlash against it. Don't get me wrong, I saw problems with the article too, but I don't necessarily disagree with overall premise and I find it sad that there isn't even an inkling of an opinion of someone trying to defend it.

It's kind of funny. The article is pro entrepreneurship, pro capitalist and pro free market. So many here are taking it as an attack on success or the rich. Theres a huge misreading of the article and a lot of attacks on minor points and statements and nobody addressing the basic premise.

There's definitely a vocal faction of HN who will defend to the death against any threat to the beleaguered highly-educated upper-class white American male.
